At Aquarius Direct, we’re excited to share an incredible opportunity that makes it easier and more affordable than ever to enhance your tap water quality. The Maltese government has introduced a grant covering 60% of the cost for installing an activated carbon water filter, up to a maximum of €100 per household. This initiative aims to encourage tap water consumption and reduce reliance on bottled water, benefiting both your health and the environment.
If you’ve been considering improving your water quality, now is the perfect time! Let’s explore how you can take advantage of this grant and the products we offer to suit your needs.
How the 60% Grant Works
The grant provides financial assistance covering up to 60% of the purchase and installation costs of an activated carbon filter, capped at €100 per household. This means significant savings on your investment in cleaner, better-tasting water.
For example:
• If you choose the Aquarius Direct AD200 water filter, which costs €155, the grant will cover €93 (60% of €155), leaving you with a final cost €62.
• If you choose the Aquarius Direct AD300S water filter, which costs €220, the grant will cover the maximum €100, leaving you with a final cost €120.
